Terminal Uprising (Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse #2)

by Jim C. Hines

To Court! (Prodryan Battle Poem) Author Unknown To court! To court! I am the blaster of justice, the armor of law! With my opening statement, I stab my enemy.1 With my keen objections, I strike him down. He bleeds before the magistrate as I claim the laurels of conquest. To sentencing! To sentencing! I am the executioner of the unworthy, the destroyer of failure! With my precedents, I build my enemy’s pyre. With the flamethrower of justice, I burn their appeals.2 Hail, hail the glorious magistrate! To billing! To billing! I am the collector of debt, the champion of incremental accounting! With my triumphs, I fill the vault of victory. With liens and debt collectors, I secure my future. I wipe my blade and march onward to the next battle.
